"Is this... the scheme of the tail-eating snake?"
Zhong Shenxiu watched the scene unfold, feeling some cold sweat on his forehead, "Too ruthless... To sacrifice one’s own bloodline just like that, to join forces with outsiders against their own, to eradicate the Feathered Serpent Nobles, is this all just a plot? A bitter trick?"
"Who could have imagined that the tail-eating snake, sworn enemy of the Time Keeper, would actually be two sides of the same existence?"
"The Time Keeper betrayed the three gods of order, and the consequences are not so simple..."
Zhong Shenxiu saw the beginning of the scene being pushed back by time reversal, the decaying shadows of suffering and the River of Secret Histories beginning to reconvene, seemingly ready to attack the tail-eating snake.
Although these two existences were previously injured in the fight against the Master of Black Blood, they were still stronger than the tail-eating snake, which had just suppressed two great entities!
Even among the great existences, the tail-eating snake, merged with the Time Keeper, is undoubtedly the strongest, but at this moment, it has certainly reached some kind of limit.
Unless it could digest the results of this battle, it would actually be the weakest one!
"So... the tail-eating snake must still have allies."
Zhong Shenxiu muttered to himself as he saw countless particles falling from the sky, a gigantic moth emerging.
This entity is the true ally of the tail-eating snake!
But the Seven Difficulties and the Guardians of Secrets did not retreat.
Obviously, they knew that the battle was unavoidable, otherwise they would completely lose control of the situation and face total failure.
"Although I’d really like to keep watching, but... I’m about to die..."
Zhong Shenxiu couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
The previous symbols and authorities... even just displaying them inflicted terrifying wounds on him.
To have survived until now was already incredibly fortunate.
But he too had reached his limit.
The upcoming battle between the four gods was bound to completely destroy him.
"Fortunately... my persistence has not been without its rewards."
Zhong Shenxiu looked at himself and saw that the tendrils and chains had been corroded, as if they were weathered by countless years, crumbling and breaking apart.
Just then, at the moment when the twelve-ringed tail-eating snake appeared, the strong impact and contamination, coupled with the previous erosion, had pushed the curse of the Master of Black Blood to its limit.
"With the Master of Black Blood being destroyed and suppressed, and the impact of those divine symbols, the curse on me has also been completely eradicated."
The previous symbols and contaminations initially eroded the curse of the Master of Black Blood.
The blood vessels and tendrils that had wrapped around his entire body, the very source of his torment, had become the outermost layer of protection. Ironic as it was, only someone as mad as Zhong Shenxiu would dare to use the pollution of the Evil God to counterbalance it, reaping the fisherman’s benefits.
"What’s better is that with the Master of Black Blood being suppressed, it seems my death is not far off, and I don’t have to worry about what comes after..."
"It’s time to go... In this world, cognition is also a form of power."
"Having seen up to now, I have completely grasped the world’s pattern... There are no more secrets among the land of origin and the many gods."
"And now, I choose destruction!"
Zhong Shenxiu gave a radiant smile and slapped his forehead with a palm.
His power could not affect any side present, after all, he was just a giant ant.
But he could choose to destroy his own Ascension Dao Fruit, to downgrade himself!
Imitating the collapse of cognition from the ordeal of the heavens, he began to fall!
The previous ’Ascenders’ were not unable to do this, but as soon as they entered the land of origin, they were targeted by their own gods, with no chance for regret.
But Zhong Shenxiu was different!
The Master of Black Blood was finished!
And in the scene, there was no existence paying attention to this ant.
"After all, the bait was used up, and there wasn’t much value left on him."
He lost the sensations of the Primordial Spirit, and his entire being became somewhat ethereal.
Zhong Shenxiu lowered his head; at this moment, were he to see the symbol of any existence, he would probably die a horrible death.
And at that time, Time’s Ouroboros had once again become a circle, biting its own tail.
The Wheels of Time, the Wheels of Fate, began to turn.
Moth Lord spread its wings, the giant eye patterns radiating a dazzling light.
Seven Difficulties and the Keepers of Secrets united, launching an indescribable assault.
At the juncture of convergence.
The enveloping, destroying light, descending upon the land of origins.
Even as Zhong Shenxiu was lowering his dimension, being swept by this afterwave would still annihilate him!
Luckily, he had prepared for this, focusing his mind into a single point, retreating into the attribute panel, allowing the aura belonging to the Gates of All gates to start trembling.
"Heavenly Show System, come out and take your beating!"
The sky returned to a clear blue, all phenomena vanished.
Those citizens with false alarms, some confused, some shouting loudly, venting the fear in their hearts.
Outside the coffeehouse.
Sage Isreal looked up at the sky, like a statue, and after a very long time, he let out a deep sigh: "Ascension... perhaps, when I no longer wish to live, I might really give it a try."
He originally thought he feared Ascension.
But upon seeing the Ascension Gate, Isreal suddenly realized, there was still that faint desire in his heart.
To pursue the truth at the risk of death!
He just stood there quietly, ceaselessly studying the phenomena that had appeared before, occasionally crouching on the ground, scribbling and drawing like a child.
Strangely, everyone ignored him, and pedestrians would even purposely avoid that area.
As someone who had lived for hundreds of years and even successfully survived the gaze of the Evil God, this might be because those great beings didn’t care much about him, but regardless, Isreal’s art of hiding was exceedingly clever.
"The stars... are trembling..."
"Sure enough... that Li Wei was a disaster. As soon as he ascended, the roots began to be disturbed..."
Isreal was highly accomplished in astrology and even the White Tower that monitored the great beings was constructed under his guidance, so naturally, he could feel the fluctuations occurring at the root more clearly.
"Sure enough... those beings have all made their move... If the battle occurred in the Spirit Realm or even the real world, it would surely bring destruction, right?"
He just waited quietly, waiting for those great beings to disperse.
Throughout the long history, they had not gone to war , but none had fallen in the end.
At most, the aftershocks only destroyed a few dynasties in reality.
That was nothing significant.
However, the very next moment, Isreal’s expression drastically changed.
He saw a star suddenly burst into light, so bright that it was dazzling even during the day, and then, it dimmed at an even faster rate.
"It’s the Master of Black Blood... It... is in trouble? Impossible... Why, why would a great being be sealed?"
Isreal’s eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets, for another star brought him an ominous revelation: "The fall... Da Mo too, has encountered trouble?"
